<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 3021609, member: 69760&quot;]I recently purchased a 1925 Norse American medal which I believe is uncirculated. However, there doesn&#039;t appear to be any cartwheel luster whatsoever. When I look at images online of graded examples, I can&#039;t seem to identify any cartwheel luster on them either. Is it originally supposed to be more of a satin circulation strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Added images of NGC MS graded examples from the &#039;net to highlight my point. The original US Mint annual report from 1925 says nothing about the strike type (last pic; it&#039;s interesting that back in 1925 they were able to include super sharp images of coins in what seems to be actual size!).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ngccoin-production/us-coin-explorer/4192518-002o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]751575[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]751579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
